Rolling papers
by Smoking
Smoking Thinnest Brown King Size Rolling Papers are unbleached, additive-free rolling papers designed to let your herb do the talking — not the paper. At just 10g/m², these are 20% thinner than standard rolling papers, yet they hold together without tearing, crumbling, or unravelling mid-session. Made by Smoking, a brand that's been in the rolling paper game for over a century, these king size papers measure 108 × 44mm and come 33 to a booklet.

Complete your setup — grab a grinder card or a pack of filter tips to pair with these king size papers. A decent grinder gives you an even, fluffy consistency that rolls easier and burns more evenly in ultra-thin papers like these.
Here's the thing about rolling papers: the thinner they are, the less you taste them. And the less bleach and chemical processing involved, the cleaner the burn. Smoking's Thinnest Brown papers hit both marks. The unbleached brown colour isn't a fashion statement — it means the paper hasn't been treated with chlorine or whitening agents. What you're holding is essentially raw plant fibre with a strip of natural vegetable gum along the edge. That's it.
We've handled a lot of rolling papers over the years — stacks of them, literally — and the first thing you notice with these is how light they feel between your fingers. At 10g/m², they're noticeably flimsier than a standard paper when you hold one up to the light. You can practically see through them. But once you've got herb loaded and you start tucking, they behave. They don't tear at the crease, they don't go soggy when you lick the gum, and they seal on the first pass. That natural vegetable gum grips properly.
The honest limitation? If you're a beginner roller, ultra-thin papers are less forgiving than thicker ones. There's less material to work with, so sloppy technique shows up faster — wrinkles, uneven tucks, loose ends. If you're still getting the hang of rolling, you might find a standard-weight paper easier to learn on. But if you've got your technique down, these reward you with a cleaner, slower burn and more flavour from your herb. That's the trade-off, and for most people reading this, it's worth it.
The difference between brown and white rolling papers comes down to processing. White papers have been bleached — typically with chlorine or calcium carbonate — to strip out the natural colour of the plant fibre. Brown papers like Smoking's Thinnest skip that step entirely. No bleaching agents, no whitening chemicals, no additives.
| Feature | Smoking Thinnest Brown | Standard white papers |
|---|---|---|
| Bleaching | None — unbleached | Chlorine or calcium carbonate |
| Additives | None | Varies by brand |
| Paper weight | 10g/m² | Typically 12–14g/m² |
| Gum type | Natural vegetable gum | Often arabic gum (natural) or synthetic |
| Burn speed | Slow, even | Varies — often faster |
| Taste interference | Minimal | Noticeable with cheaper brands |
Does it matter in practice? If you're rolling with flavourful herb, yes — you'll notice the difference. The less paper you burn, and the fewer chemicals in that paper, the more the herb's own terpene profile comes through. It's the same logic behind why people prefer thin-crust pizza: less dough, more topping.
We get asked about rolling papers more than you'd think. The most common question isn't about brand or size — it's "which ones don't taste of anything?" These Smoking Thinnest Browns are one of our go-to answers. The 108 × 44mm king size format fits comfortably in most rolling styles, and 33 leaves per booklet means you're not running out after a weekend. The booklet itself is compact enough to slip into a jacket pocket or rolling pouch without adding bulk.
One thing worth mentioning: if you're comparing these to RAW King Size papers, both are unbleached and additive-free. The main difference is paper weight — Smoking claims 20% thinner than their own standard, which puts these at the thinner end of the market. Both brands seal well. Both burn clean. It comes down to personal preference and what your fingers are used to. We'd say try both and see which one clicks with your rolling style.
Yes. These unbleached rolling papers contain no chlorine, no calcium carbonate, and no chemical additives. The adhesive is natural vegetable gum. The brown colour is the paper's natural state — nothing added, nothing stripped away.
Each booklet contains 33 king size leaves, each measuring 108 × 44mm. That's enough for a solid few weeks of regular use, or one very committed weekend.
Brown rolling papers are unbleached — they haven't been treated with chlorine or whitening agents. White papers go through a bleaching process. The result is that brown papers contain fewer chemicals and tend to interfere less with the flavour of your herb.
They can be, yes. At 10g/m², these are 20% thinner than standard papers, so they're less forgiving of sloppy technique. If you're new to rolling, practise with a standard-weight paper first. Once your tuck is consistent, ultra-thin papers are a genuine upgrade in taste and burn quality.
They burn slower and more evenly than most standard-weight papers. The combination of ultra-thin construction and no chemical accelerants means the paper doesn't race ahead of your herb. Even burn, clean ash.
King size — 108mm long by 44mm wide. That gives you plenty of length for a full-sized joint with a filter tip. Noticeably longer and wider than standard 1¼ papers.
Yes. The 108 × 44mm dimensions fit standard king size rolling machines. The natural vegetable gum seals just as well with a machine as it does by hand.
